Request: Slipknot's ".5: The Gray Chapter" album should be added to The Pit while maintaining its position in The Gateway.

This change will add the Thrash Metal genre to the release.

Member comment: "I've just had my first Slipknot full-album experience by checking out their 5th album '.5: The Gray Chapter'. Although there's a lot of the nu/alt-metal the band is known for, I find it much different from the more popular nu metal releases from the first half of the 2000s by Evanescence, Linkin Park, and Godsmack. Many of the songs have killer heavier riffing and drumming ranging from the vicious speed of thrash to the mid-tempo stomping of groove, enough to warrant great potential in The Pit. Here's my genre analysis for the 14 tracks of the album:

1. XIX - quasi-orchestral intro

2. Sarcastrophe - thrash metal/groove metal/death metal

3. AOV - thrash metal/nu metal/progressive metal

4. The Devil in I - groove metal/nu metal/sludge metal

5. Killpop - alternative metal/nu metal/industrial metal

6. Skeptic - thrash metal/groove metal/alternative metal

7. Lech - groove metal/thrash metal/nu metal

8. Goodbye - alternative rock/electronic rock/alternative metal

9. Nomadic - thrash metal/groove metal/nu metal

10. The One That Kills the Least - nu metal/alternative metal

11. Custer - thrash metal/nu metal/death metal

12. Be Prepared for Hell - ambient interlude

13. The Negative One - nu metal/thrash metal/grindcore

14. If Rain Is What You Want - alternative rock/alternative metal

Primary genres: Thrash metal, groove metal, nu metal, alternative metal

Secondary genres: Death metal, alternative rock

With that I'd like to send Slipknot's '.5: The Gray Chapter' to the Hall to be added to the Pit as thrash metal while maintaining its position in The Gateway with nu metal and alternative metal."

NOTE: Only members of The Gateway &/or The Pit can vote on this judgement. Once 15 votes of Yes or No have been entered, the Hall will make its judgement.
